Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Handwriting will be assessed by using Handwriting Assessment BatteryTimepoint: It has three sections, such as speed, legibility and pen control and manipulation.It takes approximately 15 â?? 20 minutes to administer. Then different tasks will be administered for each section as per the manual, and then scoring will be done.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
In- hand manipulation will be assessed by using Marble Activity.Timepoint: The participants have to pick up marbles one at a time and hold it in hand without dropping, and it is for 30 sec. Participants will start the activity first with a non-affected hand, followed by the affected hand. Then the number of marbles held in hand will be recorded.;In-hand manipulation will be assessed by using Minnesota rate of Manipulation TestTimepoint: The test is composed of five subtests, such as the Placing Test, the Turning Test, the Displacing Test, the One-Hand Turning and Placing Test, and the Two-Hand Turning and Placing Test, and it will be evaluated in sitting position. The average time (seconds) will be calculated after two trials.—
